PRIDE EDITION RETURNS!

A look back at Iron Crow Theatre’s 2023 production of The Rocky Horror Show as featured on CBS News Baltimore.
This year’s production introduces a brand-new Experience Zone, transforming select audience areas into an immersive “Splash Zone” where the show’s iconic callouts and prop moments come to life on a grander scale. Guests seated in VIP Front Orchestra or VIP On-Stage seating won’t just participate—they’ll be engulfed in the action. When it’s time to blow bubbles, a cascade of bubbles will rain down from above. When playing cards are tossed, entire decks will shower the crowd from the rafters. It’s interactive theatre like you’ve never experienced—bigger, bolder, and designed to fully blur the line between audience and performance.
Psst. Don’t forget about our Ticket Lottery. Click here to try your luck at $20 tickets!
Side Orchestra seats are also available for $30 and include everything the Rear Orchestra tickets include.
Iron Crow Theatre’s annual fundraiser and Baltimore's favorite LIVE tradition returns in a new raucous celebratory pride event!
In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.”
Every ticket holder gets an audience participation script and prop bag complete with cascading toilet paper, playing cards, and an array of other gadgets and goodies! This deliberately kitschy rock 'n' roll sci-fi gothic musical is Baltimore’s favorite yearly tradition, and this year it’s queerer than ever!
CONTENT WARNING
This production contains sexual themes, innuendo, kissing, simulated intercourse, stylized violence, partial nudity (including brief exposure of buttocks), and depictions of death. Production elements include loud sound effects, haze, bright and strobing lights, reflective surfaces, and props that resemble and sound like firearms.
Audience members seated in VIP On-Stage or VIP Orchestra sections should be aware that interactive elements will involve direct contact, including the use of props such as toilet paper, bubbles, playpen balls, and water guns that may fall or be directed into the seating area. Please note that this production may not be suitable for individuals with sensory sensitivities.
“A musical that deals with mutating identity and time warps becomes one of the most mutated, time-warped phenomena in show business.”
— Ben Brantley
“…genderbending, tacky, sexually loosey-goosey, with a plot that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. In other words, the perfect show for Charm City.”
— Jill Kyle-Keith
“…the raucous involvement of the folks in the seats gives a daffy boost to the appeal of this loving revival of O’Brien’s musical”
— Charles Isherwood

It’s both outrageous and deeply sobering that the production you’re about to see either already violates—or could soon violate—the law in multiple U.S. states. Just last year, over 20 anti-drag bills were introduced across 12 states. In 2025, at least 16 states have introduced or passed legislation targeting drag performance and public expressions of gender identity. As of May 2025, 6 of these states have now signed these bills into law—formally codifying the erasure of queer expression.
As anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation continues to sweep the country—fueled by fear, misinformation, and political gain—we’re fighting back the best way we know how: with an unapologetically queer, all-new Pride edition of The Rocky Horror Show.
While staying true to the show’s iconic camp, our production center’s sexual liberation and self discovery. Brad Majors is presented not simply as a caricature, but as one of musical theatre’s earliest bisexual protagonists. We reframe the story as Brad and Janet’s shared awakening. Two individuals stifled by rigid gender expectations, who—through a surreal, liberating night in a castle of chaos—uncover who they truly are (and what they truly want), and still choose each other in the end.
This year, we’ve set the action at an all-night White Party—an iconic staple of Queer nightlife and celebration—as a tribute to joy, expression, and body autonomy in a culture that so often seeks to repress them. The White Party becomes a blank slate—perhaps even holy—a canvas for self-invention and transformation. What better setting for a story about shedding expectations and embracing pleasure? Through every choice, we’ve stayed true to our version’s mission: to celebrate the beauty and resilience of the Queer community in all its stunning colors.
Without you, our audience and supporters, Iron Crow Theatre, could not exist. Thank you for supporting queer theatre and small professional theatre here in Baltimore. I promise you; it means so much to so many; here in Maryland and across the country.
Proudly,
Sean Elias, M.A., B.F.A.
